Research Associate in ER:

It would be dumb, but not for the reason you're suggesting 


Let’s be real, pulling out shirtless in a Bentley with a lion tat is something every kid should aspire to do.

 

I got my first tattoo when I was 16 and now my calf and left arm are both pretty covered. I’d just wear pants and long sleeve at all times in any professional settings during the summer.

Is it worth it? To me absolutely, I personally view tattoo as an incredible form of art. I’d usually sit on an idea for 6 months to make sure I don’t regret later on.

 

I have quite few tattoos but all covered by dress code. One of tattoos is on my upper part of leg, so I can't wear mini skirts but on Fridays I do and my colleagues saw it. Never had problems at all. But I would not show it to people outside of my fund.

So as long as OP doesn’t wear a top showing his cleavage, he will be fine.

Ur good.

 

Make sure it can't be seen in work attire. Also, make sure you aren't accidentally getting a Latin Kings gang tattoo, which could be even more problematic for you.

You really like Disney's Lion King that much?
